Gracie, we almost lost you today. Our hearts jumped. For really the first time, I honestly caught a glimpse of what life would be like without you in it. It was very real and not just a "what if" to me. Your body is growing weak, but your spirit is so strong. All the doctors and nurses love you, baby. You are the "rock" in this hospital. I pray that God gives us the strength we need. You are a fighter. My little girl's such a fighter, I'm so proud to be your daddy. God gave us such a jewel when you were born. He whispered in our hearts, this is one of My best creations. Your mother went home to be with Aaron for awhile, but she will be back. I'm here, Gracie. I'm writing this now watching you sleep. You are so beautiful, my little girl. You have made our lives so blessed. I sit here in silence, weeping, praying for God to hear my cries. I want Him to take away this pain you feel, that we all feel. I want Him to heal you, but He has a direction for your life, Gracie. He knows what He's doing. I just sit here as your daddy and say how proud I am of my little girl.

I have been thinking of your post for hours. Just know that I am lifting you up in prayer as you move through this final time of firsts.
